WHEREAS, Section 1.05.020.0103 of the Anaheim Municipal Code requires the Human Resources Director to maintain and administer a position classification and compensation plan; and
WHEREAS, the Human Resources Director has recommended in a staff report dated March 24, 2026, the need exists to modify pay policies for certain classifications designated as Non-Represented Part-Time, effective the pay period beginning December 19, 2025 to comply minimum wage law in California; and
WHEREAS, the minimum wage mandated by the State of California increases from $16.50 per hour to $16.90 per hour effective January 1, 2026; and WHEREAS, the minimum annual salary for exempt employees mandated by the State of California increases from $68,640 per year to $70,304 per year effective January 1, 2026; and
WHEREAS, the Citywide classification and compensation final report identified salary ranges for certain classifications that were more than five percent (5%) under the seventy- fifth (75th) percentile of the stakeholder-established labor market; and WHEREAS, the Human Resources Director recommends realigning salary ranges for certain classifications in the Non-Represented Part-Time and Executive Management groups to align with the City’s adopted market-position strategy, address internal alignment, and mitigate compaction; and
WHEREAS, the minimum pay rate identified in the stakeholder-established labor market exceeds the maximum of the current salary range for certain classifications, resulting in internal equity impacts across related classifications; and WHEREAS, the classifications identified in the Executive Management compensation plan were the Chief of Police (Full-Time and Part-Time), with equity impact to the City Manager’s salary range, Executive Director of Convention, Sports, and Entertainment, Finance Director, and Fire Chief.
WHEREAS, such revisions require an amendment to Resolution No. 2025-030; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Anaheim does find that modifying such pay policies and realigning salary ranges for classifications designated as Non-Represented Part-Time and Executive Management is in the best interests of the City of Anaheim NOW, THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Anaheim as follows:
